There are no administrators for official servers so nothing will be done about it. BI doesn't run the official servers. They are hosted for Bohemia by various game server providers.

They do have this... no wait, that's Rust I'm thinking of. 😉

Google Omegamanager for Dayz. Let's you deploy servers and install mods easily. No batch files needed to start the server.

It is kinda silly that the devs chose frequencies in the FM broadcast band for handheld radios. Many radios of the style they have in game would be in the VHF range, typically from around 136mhz to 160mhz. On those radios you could punch in any frequency in that range. The exception would be if it was a preprogrammed radio like a GMRS, FRS or UHF CB radio.

Official servers are swarmed with cheaters. Best to avoid those.

This has been the problem with official servers for a long time. There's no admins. BI claims that BE eventually bans these players but until they do, there's nothing you can do. People post about it all the time.

Contact Steam support.

I seriously doubt that. If I want my "bow fix", I play SCUM. 🙂

Sumrak's website seems to be down as of this reply, but here's the link to his status report. Maybe it'll be working by the time you read this: http://nightstalkers.cz/2020/09/01/aug-2020-status-update/

What are you going to think about it when Namalsk comes out with 1.10!? 🙂

Everyone complains about the current patch, no matter what it has, fixes or breaks. Relax, 1.10 will be along soon enough and it'll have Namalsk!

Uh huh.

OMG! I ran an A3 Esseker (Exile Reborn) server for KillinZedz! I love this map! Of course, this really belongs in the DayZ SA forums, not the A2 DayZ mod forum: https://forums.dayz.com/forum/160-terrain/

I'd guess it would be as old as the first game you played that has BE.

What's a zerg attack?

I wanted to change the loot that spawns in the cabins. Instead of Hunting loot, I wanted other stuff to spawn there. Here's what i did: I opened mapgroupproto.xml and I found "Land_Camp_House_red", "Land_Camp_House_white" and "Land_Camp_House_brown". I changed the usage name from "Hunting" to "Cabin". In cfglimitsdefinition.xml, I added this line: <usage name="Cabin"/>. This was placed just below the "Prison" line. I edited my types.xml, assigning many items to "Cabin". I deleted my server's database and restarted. When I spawn in and go to a cabin, it appears to still be spawning Hunting loot. For example, I found 12ga slugs. Those are not in the Cabin loot. So, any idea what I might have done wrong? Did I miss a step someplace?

50? No. I'd be happy with 10 - 15 to start with.

It seems the dev team barely tests the vanilla game. I can't imagine they're doing any testing of mods.

After you edit the settings, go into your database folder and delete the "events" files.

I got a response to this elsewhere. Apparently there are areas of Livonia that are designated as military that override the building's loot. There's also areas that are labeled as hunting, overriding the new Cabin loot. So, is there a map someplace that shows the zones (not the tiers) that are overridden? For example, I know that Nidek, which is a ruined village, spawns military items because it's in the military zone. The izurvive map doesn't show this. It only shows what the building's loot is supposed to be.

Something to keep in mind is this: If a server has a ping limit and a player goes over that limit for even a second, they are kicked. The way it should work is that it checks your ping over a time period and if the average ping is too high, then it kicks you. I'm guessing the way it actually works is a limit of the engine. Also, you really can't complain about how many crashes or kicks you get when you're running servers with tons of mods. That changes the game in ways the devs didn't test or protect against. See if you get the same thing playing vanilla.

zombie_territories.xml determines the positions of the zombies and the minimum and maximum that will spawn in each spot. globals.xml will allow you to set a maximum server wide limit. If you have a large amount of players on the server and they're evenly spread out, you'll run out of zombies quickly so each zombie spawn will have less, so adjust this file appropriately. events.xml control what zombies and how many of each can spawn in each group of zombies. A misconfigured types.xml can cause zombies not to spawn, so use an online xml validator or restore the default file and start over.
